I do like the #5's in my 16ga for late season roosters. They seem to strike like the Hammer of Thor. Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius.

This must have been 1993 or so. I shot most of the flat on the trip and was very happy with the results; that was a killing load. What I brought home I used for several years on Turkey. Great loadss...Geo

My hunt is nothing but wild birds the second week of November, so I guess those are pretty late season birds!! Perry M. Kissam NRA Patron Life Member
